Unravelling the sponge diversity of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
Porifera are considered key components of benthic communities, being typical inhabitants of both shallow and deep waters, from the mesolittoral to the bathyal zone. Although sponges are one of the most common organisms in Western Mediterranean ecosystems,

The potential role of the yellow-legged gull, Larus michahellis as a seed disperser of an invasive plant species in the Tuscan Archipelago

Rivista Italiana di Ornitologia - Research in Ornithology
Gulls have a significant role as seed dispersers in coastal habitats and as drivers of plant movements within and between islands. We report the observed interaction between the Yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) and species of cacti of the genus ...

Monitoring Natura 2000 habitats to support Opuntia stricta containment on Capraia Island (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) [PDF]

Vegetation Ecology and Diversity
Invasive alien species are a major threat to biodiversity, prompting management actions. Here, we present the first two years of monitoring Natura 2000 habitats on Capraia Island (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy), in relation to control measures for the ...

Seafloor characterisation of the offshore sector around Scoglio d’Affrica islet (Tuscan Archipelago, northern Tyrrhenian sea)

Journal of Maps, 2023
We present a very high-resolution bathy-morphological map of the offshore sector around the Scoglio d’Affrica islet (northern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy). The study area covers a sector of 45 km2, between 3 and 85 m depth. Its central part, i.e.

Colour pattern and DNA-barcoding reveal a wide distribution of the insular endemic bumble bee Bombus xanthopus in the Tuscan Archipelago

The European Zoological Journal
Insular ecosystems, due to their isolation from the mainland and limited areas, are often endemism hotspots. However, the same factors that drive high endemicity also make islands vulnerable to anthropogenic pressure and thus to biodiversity loss.

Faunal patterns in Tuscan archipelago butterflies (Lepidoptera): The dominant influence is recent geography not paleogeography

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
The aim of this paper is to examine whether current and/or Pleistocene geography affect the species richness and composition of Tuscan archipelago butterflies. This archipelago is located between Tuscany (Italy) and Corsica (France).

From Island Biogeography to Conservation: A Multi-Taxon and Multi-Taxonomic Rank Approach in the Tuscan Archipelago

Land, 2021
Investigating the drivers that support species richness (S) in insular contexts can give insights for the conservation of insular biodiversity. Our aim was to decouple the effect of drivers (island area, distance from mainland and habitat diversity ...

Impacts of the Invasive Alien Carpobrotus spp. on Coastal Habitats on a Mediterranean Island (Giglio Island, Central Italy). [PDF]

Plants (Basel), 2022
Carpobrotus acinaciformis and C. edulis are well-known invasive alien plants native to South Africa, whose detrimental effects on native communities are widely documented in the Mediterranean basin and thus largely managed in coastal ecosystems.
